Guest stumbleine_ Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 My friend (who used to be in ballet for quite some time) told me that crossing your legs totally messes with your turnout. Is this true? I'm worried because I have a habit of crossing my legs all the time. So...is it a myth or a fact?? xo sarah Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 There's nothing to it. I have no idea how this one got started, but it doesn't even make sense. Quote Link to comment
Guest stumbleine_ Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Oh, okay! I wasn't sure about it either...but wanted to be safe that it wasn't true. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
TomarkenFan89 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I cross my legs all the time and it has never affected my turnout. Could it possibly happen to those who don't have much natural turnout in the first place? (I have a very good amount of it naturally...) Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I think it's more like the ghost of your great-grandmother appearing in your ear, saying, "Real ladies don't cross their legs in public, dear." Quote Link to comment
Guest ABTsomeday Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Okay this might sound totally weird! Somebody told me that crossing your legs gives you spider veins? Is this true or a myth. Quote Link to comment
TomarkenFan89 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 OK.. this is starting to get kinda off topic here... but I have crossed my legs a lot in my life and I have NEVER gotten spider veins! (Then again, I am only 15...) Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 That's the same gramma whispering in the ear, enforcing outmoded decorum by other means. Quote Link to comment
Guest ABTsomeday Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Okay Thanks Quote Link to comment
Guest imadancer Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 wow this a little strange! I cross my legs all the time and still have great turnout and don't have any spider veins! Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 See? Quote Link to comment
elizzy Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 *grins* I read that once in a book (fiction) about a young dancer, and it's always nagged me ever since. Glad to know that I'm not messing up my turnout by crossing my legs, which I do all the time (it just keeps my legs warmer). Quote Link to comment
